the Til in Madeira, where, as in the Canaries, it constitutes a 
large portion of the native woods, but can not now endure

leaves in the recent Til. Another plant also indicating a 
warmer climate is the Liquidambar europmitm^ Brong. (see 
Fig. 135), a species nearly allied to X. styraciflimm^ L., which 
flourishes in most places in the Southern States of North 
America, on the borders of the Gulf of Mexico.
